In the early morning of the next day, Xue Hua emerged from the tent very early.
He looked at the surrounding sky, which was not yet fully lit, and thought that he finally got up earlier than his two little animals.
But when he turned his attention to the bonfire that had not yet been extinguished, he found that on the wooden stand of the fire, a soup pot was steaming, and at the same time, there was a strong smell of meat emanating from the pot.
Mouth-watering.
Xue Hua smiled helplessly. Seeing this scene, he knew that the two girls must have gotten up long ago...
"Ah~ Master, you're awake... Sit down by the bonfire to warm up. Breakfast will be ready soon~~" Just as Xue Hua turned around to look for the two girls, Funia's voice came from behind him.
Got up.
He turned around and saw the girl walking out of the simple material tent built with linen cloth next to him, holding a small basket filled with various ingredients and condiments.
"Today's breakfast includes spiced meat and vegetables and omelette. Oh, and by the way, there is also the bone soup you mentioned before. I tried making it and it tasted pretty good~"
Funia walked up to Xue Hua, raised the small basket in her arms in front of him, and said in a sweet voice like offering a treasure.
"...I mean, little girl, it's just breakfast, there's no need to make it so rich..." Xue Hua touched the girl's little head in a daze, not knowing how to describe his feelings.
Ever since Funia started to take over their dietary issues, Xue Hua could enjoy sumptuous delicacies wherever he went for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
Even if she is unable to make a fire to cook due to time constraints, this girl can magically take out a variety of delicious and convenient ready-to-eat dry food from her inventory.
This made Xue Hua feel both enjoyable and helpless.
Because he had been bitten by this girl, he had even begun to lose any interest in the restaurants and taverns in Lugaoyin City that were known to be owned by royal chefs.
Especially after eating in one of them once and feeling like nothing more...
So occasionally, he also hoped that Funya would not make every meal so sumptuous, which would spoil him...
As someone who spends most of his time on adventures, it is best to be able to eat anything. This is the way to survive in the wilderness.
However, Funya didn't think so. She believed that her sisters had become a burden to her master in combat, so she could never relax her demands on herself in other aspects.
The elder sister can help the master handle most of the chores and trivial matters, so she must also use her own strengths, at least when it comes to eating, she must not let the master do it.
So, Funya showed her "chef's momentum", stared at Xue Hua's face with her hands on her hips and said, "How can the master say this? Eating is a very serious matter."
What! If you can’t eat well, what will you use to get the strength to go on adventures?”
"Okay, okay~ I know~" Seeing this girl like this, Xue Hua could only say with a helpless smile.
At this moment, Annie walked out of the forest with a wooden basin and was a little surprised to see that Xue Hua was already awake.
"Huh? Master is up already?"
"Yes, we have to get up early today. We also have to look for the small station in this oasis."
Xue Hua looked at Annie and said.
"Fonia, there is a smell of paste in the pot~" Annie nodded, then moved her nose and smelled a slight smell of paste.
"Wow! That's terrible!" Upon hearing this, Funya immediately ran towards the bonfire in a slight panic.
Looking at her back, Xue Hua shook his head helplessly.
This girl~
"Now that the master is awake, come and wash up. I have already boiled hot water~"
"okay."
...
After a hearty and delicious breakfast, Xue Hua took the two sisters on today's hunting trip.
The hunting method is still with the insect swarm acting as the vanguard to clear the way ahead, but this time, Xue Hua and the two girls climbed onto the back of the thunder beast.
The back bone plate of the Thunder Beast is extremely wide, and as long as there is no high-intensity battle, it is very stable.
Because under normal circumstances, the Thunder Beast only needs to step on it to find a way out of the monster group.
Moreover, the tall size of the Thunder Beast also provides the two shooters with an excellent sniper vision, and also allows Xue Hua to observe the surrounding situation more smoothly.
Although the Overlord Insects are usually responsible for the investigation, now, because Xue Hua has spread the Overlord Insects around, asking them to search for possible roads leading to the lost city and small stations in the oasis jungle.
, so they currently need to supplement themselves in terms of close-range investigation.
The hunting went smoothly as always. Even if all the monsters in this oasis jungle were gathered together, they could not shake the progress of the insect swarm.
However, at Xue Hua's request, the insect mother who served as the vanguard at the front would occasionally release some monster groups for him and the Rogge sisters to practice.
This kind of adventure process can be described as enjoyable and relaxing, and at the same time, it progresses very quickly.
However, such a smooth and peaceful hunting made Xue Hua increasingly doubtful.
Why, someone should have been to this oasis, but so far they haven't seen even a single professional?
Even if the oasis is large and sparsely populated, then at least one or two professional teams should be visible in the field of vision of the king insect that is searching the entire oasis, right?
But the king insect has never sent him a report on the discovery of humans, and not even the slightest trace of human existence has been found.
This seems very strange.
According to the information Annie found in the tavern, although most of the monsters in this oasis jungle are relatively difficult insects and the environment is quite unfriendly, there are not many professional teams that choose this place for exploration and hunting.
No matter what, it should not be so short that there is no one at all.
The most critical thing is that when Xue Hua looked for the location of the small station marked on the map he bought at a high price, he did not find the location of the small station at all.
Even a few landmark points highlighted on the map could not be found.
You know, small stations are not altars, they don't move around.
Although these teleportation arrays also belong to the ranks of "Holy Lands", their characteristics are more like holy wells. Basically, there will be at least one small station on every map that is classified as an independent area.
Oasis Jungle is no exception.
However, Xue Hua and others found no trace of the small station until the evening when the hunting was over and they started to set up camp.
This made him feel something was wrong. It seemed that the "distant oasis" they arrived at was not the same place as the "distant oasis" that other professionals entered?
But what exactly is the problem?
He remembered that he didn't do anything special before entering this area?
They just flew in directly on the king insect...
Wait... fly?
Is this the problem?
The other professionals walked in directly from the boundary between the oasis and the dry highlands, but they were the only ones who flew in on the King Insect.
Professionals cannot understand the ability to fly before they reach a certain level. Even among professionals who have reached the legendary level, there are still many who cannot fly.
For example, Kasha and Qiaxi from Camp Rogge are both very strong professionals, and Kasha has even touched the edge of the original prototype.
But they still can't fly.
It can be seen that the ability to fly is still very rare among professionals, but Xue Hua often sees alien dragon king insects flying around in the sky, and even insect fleets can enter outer space, so he has the idea of "being able to fly".
There is no such thing as the illusion.
But even if this is really the problem, what exactly is going on?
Could it be that flying into a distant oasis would trigger some hidden plot?
